VS

Average Teesside terraced house

Hartlepool: £107,662

Middlesbrough: £112,341

Stockton-on-Tees: £130,147

Average terraced prices, Aug 2026. Stamp duty for an existing owner on a £112,341 house is about £5,617 (5% surcharge band only).

Four Middlesbrough terraces ≈ £449,364 (about £472,000 with each one's stamp duty), leaving about £127,000 of the London total for refurbishment works.

Put another way: the £45,400 stamp duty on one average London home is about 40% of the price of an average Middlesbrough or Hartlepool terrace.
